From the bestselling author of "Kitchen Table Wisdom" comes a book that will wrap the warmth of a wise grandfather's love and the blessings of life around every reader.

bought this book when my mother got cancer; kept it and the other one, kitchen table wisdom in the bathroom (they are not THAT sacred - but...) It was good to just be able to rest my mind in her words and kindness. after she began to recover, my mother found them, and loved them too.Read full review

This is one of my alltime favorite books. Every story is so touching and full of wisdom. Very well written and easy to read in little bits. It would make a great gift for someone who is very ill also.Read full review
